Darfur s Sorrow is the first general history of Darfur to be
published in any language. The book surveys events from before the
founding of the Fur sultanate in the sixteenth century through the
rise and establishment of the Fur state and its incorporation into
the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in 1916. The narrative continues with
detailed coverage of the brief but all-important colonial period
(1916 1956) and Darfur s history as a neglected peripheral region
since independence. The political, economic, environmental, and
social factors that gave rise to the current humanitarian crisis
are discussed in detail, as are the course of Darfur s rebellion,
its brutal suppression by the Sudanese government, and the lawless
brigands known as janjawid. The second edition of the book brings
the story up to date and includes an analysis of attempts to save
Darfur s embattled people and to bring an end to the fighting.
